The Lace Reader

NY: William Morrow, 2008. 0061624764. Stated First Edition. First Printing. Hard Cover. ISBN: 0061624764. Quarter bound in publisher's dark blue cloth over blue boards, silver lettering on spine, fore-edge deckle, blue endpapers. "In Barry's captivating debut, Towner Whitney, a dazed young woman descended from a long line of mind readers and fortune tellers, has survived numerous traumas and returned to her hometown of Salem, Massachusetts, to recover. Any tranquility in her life is short-lived when her beloved great-aunt Eva drowns under circumstances suggesting foul play. Towner's suspicions are taken with a grain of salt given her history of hallucinatory visions and self-harm. The mystery enmeshes local cop John Rafferty, who had left the pressures of big city police work for a quieter life in Salem and now finds himself falling for the enigmatic Towner as he mourns Eva and delves into the history of the eccentric Whitney clan. Barry excels at capturing the feel of smalltown life, and balances action with close looks at the characters' inner worlds. Her pacing and use of different perspectives show tremendous skill and will keep readers captivated all the way through." - Publisher's Weekly. Originally self-published in 2006, The Lace Reader was a discovery of small, independent bookstores, and became a major press publishing sensation.. Both the volume and the unclipped dust jacket are in perfect, pristine condition; unread, unmarked, tight, square, and clean, except for one tiny pucker on the ffep, a printer's error.
